Giving up an unwanted pet

Owning pets can be extremely rewarding, however it comes with much responsibility.

Some owners find themselves in a position where they feel they need to give up a pet. This could be for numerous reasons, but giving them up should always be a last resort.

Animals with behavioural problems

Pets can develop behavioural problems which can be distressing. You might consider giving them up when they're displaying signs of aggression, destructiveness, or inappropriate toileting but there are things that can be done to help.

Expensive veterinary treatment

Before giving up pets because of expensive medical bills do some research. Some of our branches, where funds allow, may be able to help those receiving low-income state benefits. Find out if you could be eligible for financial assistance. Other charities can also help.
